Therapy Philosophy
I believe therapy is a valuable tool in developing wellness and in learning how to live a satisfied life.
Participating in therapy is an investment in yourself. It is a vital part of your human education.
Through
the collaborative therapy relationship, we clarify and decipher the
roots of your issues. This allows for an individualized approach that
pragmatically focuses on acceptance of life as it is, as well as
changing that which you have the power to change.
For
some individuals the roots of present-day problems lie in a lack of
specific skills, for others difficulties are linked to
lessons/rules/ways of behaving that were learned in the past, while
others stumble due to believing that they must do what emotions and
thoughts, versus personally determined values, dictate. Additional
sources of suffering are worrying about, versus planning for, the
future, endlessly re-thinking the past and fighting against the reality
of the present.
Once we have gained an understanding
around the sources of your suffering, we can develop an achievable,
effective and pragmatic path leading to the caliber of life you desire.
